KAMIYA - Sneaker Fit Review

Do KAMIYA Sneakers
Run Bigger or Smaller in Fit?

KAMIYA sneakers, a brand rapidly gaining popularity worldwide, often leave buyers wondering which size to choose.

Compared to other brands such as NIKE and adidas, many KAMIYA models tend to feel “slightly larger in fit.”
(This is based on personal impressions when choosing the “same labeled size” as other sneakers.)

Below, we introduce our staff’s model-by-model size impressions for two styles:

Staff Review

  • Wore size 40 (equivalent to 25.5cm), which is one size down from my usual, and it felt true to size.
  • Even in size 40, there was a little room in the heel and a little room in the toe area, but it felt just right for casual wear.
  • In size 41 (equivalent to 26cm), which is half a size down, there was room overall and a significant gap at the heel, so it did not feel suitable for regular wear.
  • Due to the shoe design having 5 eyelets for laces, it’s hard to tighten with laces, so for those who wear size 26cm, we recommend going down 0.5cm to 25.5cm.

Staff Review

  • For this model as well, wearing size 40 (equivalent to 25.5cm), which is one size down from my usual, gave a true-to-size impression.
  • Compared to the Herc, although it is possible to adjust the fit with the laces, there was room in the heel, and in 26 there was noticeable heel slippage when walking.
  • For those who wear size 26cm, going down 0.5cm to 25.5cm is recommended for town use.
